phase-locked loop

Refers to an unfortunate situation where someone who had begun exhibiting undesirable behavior that others had initially assumed was his "just going through a phase" actually does **not** eventually "taper off", but continues to display said distressing attitude/actions.
My teenage son started being really rude and mouthy at age 12, and our pediatrician had assured me that it was "merely a stage he was going through", and that "he'd outgrow it eventually". Well, that was over six years ago, and if anything the boy's behavior is even more sulkily-resentful and anti-social than ever --- looks like a phase-locked loop to me!

Brain Lock

"We want to believe something b/c it fits with the other ideas we believe; all the people we know believe it too, and the people who believe the opposite are loathsome."
Jess: Ass means you're being a bitch and that's all it means.
Lucia: You're so right.
Pancho: Yeah, you're so smart.
Rose: Naw, you all are dumb asf. It means multiple things; as in, butt, donkey, etc.

Jess: No, we're right and you're wrong, mainly because Pancho and Lucia agree with me. So ass only means being a bitch.

Rose: You guys are so "brain lock."

lock the hubs

"Lock the hubs" is motorist jargon for engaging four wheel drive. Older trucks & SUVs as well as some newer base model vehicles are equipped with manual locking hubs rather than automatic on the fly 4×4. Such vehicles require driver to park, shift transfer case in the cab to 4-HI or 4-LO AND go outside to turn dail on front wheel hubs to "LOCK" before proceeding. Some folks driving in irregular winter conditions will lock the hubs but stay in two wheel drive until they need 4×4. Running locked hubs with 2 wheel drive otherwise increases front tire wear.
Tyler: Hey Tom, I'm planning on going skiing today, how are the roads going up to the mountain?
Tom: Roads are a bit snowy & icy in places but if you lock the hubs, you should be fine!
